A Crossover of Film and Television: Miao Miao's Life Transmigration

Chapter 107 Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace Su Luyun 34

When Jin Yuyan decided to make a move against Su Luyun, things were bound to get turbulent. Two days later, Jin Yuyan went into premature labor, or rather, she was already nine months along, which was her due date.

Fortunately, Jin Yuyan was lucky. If the medicine had lasted for more than half a month, Jin Yuyan would not have had such a simple premature birth.

Su Luyun brought Chen Wanyin to Qixiang Palace, where the Empress was already waiting outside the delivery room.

You couldn't tell anything from the Empress's face, but her stiff expression and the anticipation of her son's birth made her feel uncomfortable.

After paying her respects to the Empress and Consort Hui, and then exchanging the same respect with Consort Xian, Su Luyun sat down quietly.

After finishing his official business, the Emperor came to Qixiang Palace for a visit, and the concubines rose to pay their respects to him.

"Get up!"

The Emperor's heart softened when he saw Su Luyun. He helped her up and pulled her to a nearby chair so she could sit down.

They inquired about Su Luyun's situation and then asked the Empress about Jin Yuyan's basic information.

Then he told Su Luyun to go back and rest, saying that she was still pregnant and shouldn't overexert herself.

The emperor didn't stay long, saying he had other matters to attend to, and returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to review memorials.

Su Luyun certainly wouldn't stay. The Emperor had already told her she could go back and rest. She still had a lot to do, and every day all sorts of letters would come in from outside the palace, some containing decisions and others containing work reports.

Su Luyun feels as busy as the emperor right now, but thankfully the system has taken care of most of the work for her.

Jin Yuyan's pregnancy was very difficult due to the effects of the medicine. She did not give birth for a whole day and night. In the end, the Empress told all the concubines to go back and rest, and asked Su Lian to stay and report to Changchun Palace if there was any situation.

Finally, on the afternoon of the second day, Jin Yuyan gave birth to a prince. However, due to the poisoning, Jin Yuyan found it difficult to conceive again.

Fucha Langhua knew about this matter but didn't take it to heart. She wasn't particularly concerned about Jin Yuyan giving birth to a prince, since Jin Yuyan was a member of the Yu clan and her son was destined to have no chance of succeeding to the throne.

Fucha Langhua instructed Zhenshu to take good care of Jin Yuyan and sent a young eunuch to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to report the good news.

When the Emperor learned that Jin Yuyan had given birth to a prince, he was overjoyed. After all, he had so many princesses but only three princes. Now he had four princes. The Emperor immediately issued an edict to promote Consort Jia to Imperial Concubine Jia.

The concubines in the harem, knowing that the Emperor had promoted Jia Pin to the rank of Consort, wore expressions of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Especially Bai Ruiji, she also gave birth to two children before being promoted to the rank of Consort. It must be because both of her children were princesses. No, she must get pregnant again, and she must have a prince.

Consort Yi, Huang Qiying, was much calmer now. After all, the Emperor rarely visited her Jingyang Palace anymore. Fortunately, she had the Tenth Princess by her side, which was much better than those who had no children at all.

Consort Qing, Lu Muping, was not so lucky. The Emperor did not like her, and because of the Empress Dowager, she had been in the palace for almost four years and still had not conceived. She wondered if she would ever have this chance in her life.

Consort Yu was simply jealous. The Emperor no longer cared about her, and the Empress, citing her poor health and inability to serve the Emperor at night, removed her nameplate, leaving her with no chance to serve him and making it very difficult for her to be promoted in this lifetime.

How good could the promised profit be? There was often no ice in the summer and no charcoal in the winter.

If she had a child, her life would be a little easier. Hailan's mindset had long since changed. She also longed for affection and would go to Yanxi Palace to find Qingying whenever she had the chance, hoping to run into the Emperor there, but each time the chance was just a coincidence.

All that was left for A'Ruo was hatred. She didn't understand why her life had turned out this way, and the Emperor never came to her bedroom again.

Jin Yuyan slept for a day and finally woke up.

Zhen Shu quickly handed over a glass of water to Jin Yuyan to moisten her throat.

Zhenshu said, "Your Majesty, you are finally awake."

Jin Yuyan asked, "Where is the child? Is it the little prince?"

Zhenshu asked Lixin to bring the child over and said, "Your Majesty, it's the little prince."

Jin Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief, finally giving birth to the little prince, and said, "That's wonderful!"

Zhenshu said with a joyful expression, "That's not all! His Majesty has promoted you to the rank of Consort. You are now Consort Jia."

Those inside bowed to Jin Yuyan.

"Congratulations, Consort Jia! Congratulations, Consort Jia!"

Jin Yuyan felt good, and then she saw Lixin carrying the little prince over.

Jin Yuyan sat by the bed, looking at the young prince. The young prince was thin and frail, and it was clear that he was not in good health.

When the little prince was giving birth, he held it in for too long, and although he wasn't considered premature, his body was still affected.

Jin Yuyan asked, "How is the young prince's health?"

Zhenshu replied, "The imperial physician said that the young prince is a little weak. If he takes good care of himself, he will definitely get better."

Jin Yuyan felt a little relieved, after all, Zhenshu also knew medicine. As long as she was there, the little prince would have a royal physician by his side at all times.

The young prince is currently unwell, and the Imperial Hospital is quite far from the inner palace. If there is an emergency, Zhenshu's presence would put her at ease.

Jin Yuyan instructed Lixin to take the little prince away and take good care of him.

Jin Yuyan only then felt the pain in her body. Her attention had been focused on the young prince, and she was a beat slow to react.

A flicker of pain crossed Jin Yuyan's face as she asked, "My body?"

Zhenshu couldn't tell Consort Jia that she would have difficulty conceiving again. She could only tell her after Consort Jia had recovered. Fortunately, Consort Jia gave birth to a prince. Zhenshu said, "Your Majesty, I almost had a difficult childbirth. My body was damaged this time and I need to take good care of myself."

Upon hearing this, Jin Yuyan asked in confusion, "Have you found out who was behind my premature birth this time?"

Zhen Shu stated the results of her investigation: "There was nothing suspicious. The midwife kept a close eye on everything, and there were no problems with the food or supplies."

Jin Yuyan still felt it was a coincidence and said, "Investigate it again carefully. I don't believe it was an accident."

Zhenshu respectfully replied, "Yes."

When Su Luyun heard that the Emperor had promoted Consort Jia to Imperial Concubine Jia, she thought to herself that the world was inherently unpredictable, and promotions were as easy as playing a game.

Kexin was worried that Su Luyun would be sad, so she comforted her: "Your Majesty, once you give birth to the little prince, the Emperor will definitely promote you to a higher rank, and then you will be a Noble Consort."

Su Luyun touched her belly and said, "I don't concern myself with such trivial matters. Have any rumors come in from outside recently?"

Su Luyun's letters were all written with special materials and could only be viewed through specific methods. Moreover, Su Luyun usually kept her letters in the system space to prevent outsiders from seeing them.

For example, the emperor would sometimes visit the bookstore in Zhongcui Palace to paint and compose poems with Su Luyun.

Kexin said, "Your Majesty, no!"

Kexin had no idea what Su Luyun was doing; she only knew that letters were occasionally sent into the palace from outside, which she assumed were from the Empress's family.

Su Luyun waved her hand and said, "Alright, you can all leave now! Kexin and Keqing, you two guard the door."

Su Luyun began another busy day.
